Last night, I had a very unusual.. Well, no not that unusual, but interesting dream.
I went back to an apt I had with some roommates during college. It was very familiar, as if I was coming back to visit after being gone 10 yr. Everyone had aged some. One had moved out? There had been myself, 2 guys and a girl in an unusual apt at the top of an elevator with the apt spread across two or three levels. Very open, Victorian or slightly so. Wood floors and a floor plan that let you walk through one room into another.
It felt very much like a place I had lived during college. When I woke, in that half awake state, I had to cycle through all the places(3) I had lived during college. And had to admit it was not in the list. Also thinking then, the time in my life when this dream was common might not have been college, but high school. Thinking now, a time frame of college with feelings of high school could be summers between semesters in Canadian.
Anyway, I woke truly believing I had lived here and just visited. This has happened before many times in many “locations”. But not so recently or convincingly. It’s funny when I moved into this apt. I dreamed several times of having moved into another apt, but much cooler. It had a open roof in one area near the bathroom. Very beautiful, but my dream places are usually more interesting. The dream journal shows I started writing at 5:58am, almost time to wake up.
So, my question is this: “Ether, please explain, thank you.”
